Music devoid of emotion is worthless.
Which is why so many people continue to value the relationship of Buckingham & Nicks almost as much as they value the music itself. The relationship lends itself to the music, and vice versa. It's a symbiotic thing, both feeding the other.
For me, their relationship is fascinating on certain levels because it's so mercurial... but I don't have any kind of emotional investment in whether or not they end up together.
As a fan, I'd like to see them both happy, but I don't think that happiness can only be found with each other.
Some romantic relationships just don't work, for a variety of reasons. And no matter how intertwined two people's lives might be, that's no assurance that they'll grow old together, sitting on the front porch in their rocking chairs.
I think almost all of us have at least one or two people about whom we'll always wonder "what if," even though some things just aren't meant to be.
But it's the romanticism of that wondering, which keeps a little torch forever burning.
And wherever their paths might take them, it's that same little torch which pretty much insures that Lindsey and Stevie will continue to mine their relationship for more great music in the years to come.
